Famous Dead People

(ft comedians Pat May & David Etkin) Is it fair to only call one guest "great" just because it's the name that history gave them? Darwin was a little sticky about this, but we got past it. jarretberenstein.com @justjarret

(ft comedians Peter McNerney & Will Jacobs) The line between genius and moron has never been so fiercely debated! This was a spicy one, baby. jarretberenstein.com @justjarret

(ft comedians Megan Gray & Austin Sanders) Everybody knows that the dice are loaded, everybody knows that the United Fruit Company paid American politicians to stage a coup in Guatemala! (I think those are the lyrics, right?) jarretberenstein.com @justjarret

(ft comedians Brian Frange & Todd Fasen) I'm noticing a worrying trend of booking dead people who end up either trying to or vowing to kill me on the air. No more warrior kings or 20th century artists from now on! Jk, they were great. jarretberenstein.com @justjarret

(ft comedians Branson Reese and Kevin Cobbs) There may or may not have been a little spark in the air between Blackbeard and me. Either that or Kinsey just really likes watching people bone. You be the judge! jarretberenstein.com @justajrret

(ft comedians Chris Ferry & Meghan O'Neill) Everybody is confused by the history of European royalty, even Charlton Heston and Mary Queen of Scots! Enjoy the ep and don't...lose your HEAD! (spoiler alert) jarretberenstein.com @justjarret

(ft comedians John Trowbridge & Eric Yearwood) The father of western philosophy and the handsomest man in 19th century America! Which one was which? You'll have to listen to find out! jarretberenstein.com @justjarret

(ft comedians Pat May & Evan Altshuler) You'd think Neil Armstrong would be tired of talking about space, but on the contrary he was annoyed we didn't get to it more, much to Disney's consternation. Jarret had fun regardless. jarretberenstein.com @justjarret

(ft comedians Douglas Widick & Lex Morales) If I had to pick two dudes who I did not expect to be as obsessed with farts and boobs as they were, it would be Louis Pasteur and Marlon Brando, who joined Jarret in the studio this week. jarretberenstein.com @justjarret

(ft comedians Joe Miles and Andy Moskowitz) A poet and a pope! It's not a romantic comedy, it's John Keats and the very first John Paul sitting down with Jarret and really getting into it. jarretberenstein.com @justjarret

(ft comedians Boris Khaykin and Austin Sanders) I thought these two would get along a lot better than they did, but Timothy Leary kept insisting that Anne Frank take responsibility for the bad things in her life and somehow I got blamed for this as well. UNFAIR! jarretberenstein.com @justjarret

(ft comedians Megan Gray and Mike Cabellon) Did you know that Alan Rickman and Napoleon were both famous for parties for which there are no records at all? Thankfully, I got them in the studio to dish all the hot goss. jarretberenstein.com @justjarret

(ft comedians Federico Garduño & Molly Cahen) Emily Dickinson gave Churchill and real lesson in confidence here, and I think that's a lesson that all of us can take to the heart. jarretberenstein.com @justjarret

(ft comedians Branson Reese and Michael Lutton) Don't worry guys, I really let Jerry Falwell have it on this episode, but it was hard because he had an unlikely ally! jarretberenstein.com @justjarret

(ft comedians Rebecca Robles & Michael Wolf) a surprisingly Australian Sappho and predictably blustery Thomas Edison join Jarret in the studio this week to talk about poems from the heart, gods, and technology! jarretberenstein.com @justjarret

(ft comedians Meghan O'Neil and Sean Taylor) Both of these two would describe their lives as "quite a ride!" Poor abused Judy Garland and hero of the revolution Paul Revere join Jarret in the studio this week to discuss what's worse: living under oppressive British rule or the studio system (it's the studio system). jarretberenstein.com @justjarret

(ft comedians Matthew Sellitti & Les Morales) A real watery theme for our thirtieth podcast ep! John the Baptist and Jacques Cousteau join Jarret in the studio this week to get to the bottom of their aqua fascination. jarretberenstein.com @justjarret

(ft comedians Peter McNerney & Austin Sanders) We're on a real wacky roll here on Famous Dead People. JFK and PT Barnum join Jarret in the studio this week to debate who can put on a better show: a professional circus developer, or a rich white dude from Massachusetts. jarretberenstein.com @justjarret

(ft comedians Kevin Cobbs and Chris Ferry) Both criminals but for very different reasons! Oscar Wilde and Pablo Escobar join Jarret in the studio this week to try and figure out which one of these two icons had more of an impart on gay culture. jarretberenstein.com @justjarret

(ft comedians Boris Khaykin and Jarret Berenstein) Friend of the pod Andy Moskowitz hosted this light hearted romp with explorer Marco Polo and writer/pedophile Lewis Carroll. One of my fav eps so far! jarretberenstein.com @justjarret
